Tempe Laser Center

Tempe Laser Center is a laser treatment business in Tempe, Arizona.

Laser hair removal is performed with a Soprano ICE Diode laser system, Platinum edition, which the business says combines three laser wavelengths to reach different tissue depths. Treatment time depends on the area: a small spot such as the upper lip takes a few seconds, while larger areas such as arms, legs or back take roughly 15 to 30 minutes. The number of sessions depends on the size of the area, how the body responds, hair type and skin type.

Tattoo removal uses a PicoSecond laser and is offered after a free consultation, where a specialist estimates how many treatments are needed. The business says the average tattoo takes six to eight appointments, with the number set case by case, and that most unwanted pigment is said to significantly lighten or clear within two to three sessions. Colored inks, including blue and green, can be treated. A cooling anesthetic is available. Side effects the site lists include temporary skin whitening, a sunburn-like feeling, redness, swelling and blistering, and it says scarring is very rare.

Body sculpting offers two options. CryoEMS is described by the business as freezing fat and building muscle, with no recovery time needed. A separate non-invasive body sculpting option uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to produce muscle contractions.

The facial menu includes CryoFacial, a cold-based treatment that the business says reduces signs of aging and offers an alternative to surgery, and Laser Genesis, which the site says aims to stimulate collagen in targeted spots and minimize the appearance of acne scars. Laser teeth whitening is described as painless and enamel safe, and is designed to reduce the look of stains from food, coffee, tea and soda.

Before laser hair removal, clients have to prepare: the treatment area must be clean-shaven, and sun exposure and sunless tanning products should be avoided for a week. Anyone who is sunburned or tanned waits two weeks. Waxing, tweezing and chemical hair removal stop three weeks ahead, and chemical peels or other laser procedures in the area are avoided for two weeks before and after. Clients who used Accutane or similar products in the past six months cannot have the treatment, and Botox or dermal filler in the area requires a 14-day wait before and after injection. Clients treating the face or neck cleanse the whole face at the clinic. Tattoo removal clients avoid sun exposure for two weeks beforehand and may be told to stop aspirin and ibuprofen.

Each service starts with a consultation where one is offered, and the business sets out written preparation rules before treatment. Session counts are estimated for each client rather than promised.
